Place the midgut in “non-rotated” configuration • 8 (5.4%) Adhesive SBO – Small bowel >>> Right • 1 (0.7%) Volvulus – Colon >>> Left • Laparoscopic vs Open – Cecum >>> Hypogastric midline • Similar complication rates 15 16 4

3/8/2014 Summary Opening February 1, 2014 • Intestinal malrotation is the primary risk factor for midgut volvulus • Clinical presentation varies with age • Babies: bilious emesis • Adult: abdominal pain and obstructive symptoms • Ladd’s procedure effectively prevents midgut volvulus • All symptomatic patients should have a Ladd’s procedure • “Asymptomatic” malrotation is less concerning with age 21 22 6
